WHEREAS, Julieta Brusco, a student at Incarnate Word Academy |
|
|
in Corpus Christi, won the grand national championship title for |
|
|
first grade in the 2017 Zaner-Bloser National Handwriting Contest; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Launched in 1991, this annual competition |
|
|
challenges students from kindergarten through eighth grade to |
|
|
demonstrate their handwriting abilities by composing a "pangram," |
|
|
or a sentence that contains all the letters of the alphabet, which |
|
|
is then judged based on the criteria of legibility, size, shape, |
|
|
spacing, and slant; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Julieta's penmanship earned her top marks for her |
|
|
grade at the local and state levels and allowed her to advance to |
|
|
the national semifinals, where she won first place; that |
|
|
distinction came with a $1,000 prize, which she plans to spend on |
|
|
books, food, and water for children in need; in preparing for this |
|
|
contest, she greatly benefited from the guidance of her teacher |
|
|
Sandra Ledesma; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A source of tremendous pride to her family and her |
|
|
school, Julieta Brusco has shown considerable skill, initiative, |
|
|
and perseverance in the pursuit of her goals, and her |
|
|
accomplishments surely herald a future bright with promise; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Julieta Brusco on winning the grand |
|
|
national championship for her grade level in the 2017 Zaner-Bloser |
|
|
National Handwriting Contest and extend to her sincere best wishes |
|
|
for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Ms. Brusco as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
